RNA-protein interactions are pivotal for the regulation of gene expression from bacteria to human. RNA-protein interactions are dynamic; they change over biologically relevant timescales. Understanding the regulation of gene expression at the RNA level therefore requires knowledge of the dynamics of RNA-protein interactions. Here, we discuss the main experimental approaches to measure dynamic aspects of RNA-protein interactions. We cover techniques that assess dynamics of cellular RNA-protein interactions that accompany biological processes over timescales of hours or longer and techniques measuring the kinetic dynamics of RNA-protein interactions in vitro.
